  • Upgrade?

    Danielle’s job is getting rid of some old computers – all of which are way, way better than my current server. My current server is a P II 333 Hz computer!!! And it only has a 4 GB hard drive, most of which is full! By contrast, the cheapest computer they’re selling at Danielle’s work…

    AMD is buying ATI for $5.4 billion! This could completely change the landscape of things. If AMD goes M$, they could coerce MoBo makers to make AMD motherboards only use ATI or use ATI better than Nvidia. What’s next? Intel buying Nvidia?

  • Civ4: Warlords Absolute first impression

    There is a new, war oriented opening movie that kicks butt! The opening screen no longer plays the happy Lion King-like theme, but a more ominous one. Instead of a nice happy world in the background to the main menu, we have an impatient looking warrior who likes to twirl his sword. Impressive!

  • My Best Civ4 Game Ever

    Before I get to playing civ4: Warlods, I wanted to share my best high score ever in civ4. It was as the Eric-Chin IV of the Chinese. My final score was 7217 (the next one is 5699! as the japanese) and I finished in 1988 AD with a Domination victory in Chieftain difficulty. I might…
